Intense 2018 Carbine Pro Bike - Unisex

If you can dream it, the Carbine will ride it. A blend of Enduro-worthy components means this bike can take whatever you can throw at it. It has the fast rolling momentum of a 29er, and is fully capable of more. With 160mm in the front and 155mm in the rear, it has the travel needed to shred the EWS, but the slacker headtube angle (65.5°) and shorter chainstays give it nimble handling and level-headed predictability. The long wheelbase holds traction when you’re pushing the margins on fast descents without losing the fun factor in tight corners and drops. The Pro build draws on a golden mix of SRAM X01 and GX Eagle and components for a light and reliable setup. SRAM Guide RS brakeset keeps things under control when you're coming in a bit too hot. Bottom line, you won't feel under-biked anywhere you ride this rig.
